Today we're shipping a security engineer into every Bolt project. AI made building faster. It made attackers faster too. So we’ve made SoTA agentic security the default. For free. 🧵

In memory of @ChrisGSeaton, a giant. tenderlovemaking.com/2022/12…

In Memory of a Giant

The Ruby community has lost a giant. As a programmer, I always feel as if I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. Chris Seaton was one of those giants. I’ve been working at the same company as Chris...

In every interaction, Chris was unwaveringly kind and helpful. He was a giant in the community and in our team. He'll be missed dearly.

I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes: Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss. Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016. Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.

I'm speaking @rubyconf tomorrow at 10:45am CST about finding exits in YJIT and how we can use that information to make optimizations. If you're interested in running YJIT you won't want to miss this. #yjit #ruby #rubyconf2022

Over the weekend I became a maintainer of Rubygems.org. 🥳🚀 I'm excited to continue working w/ the community to make this amazing ecosystem even better & more secure. 🎉 Along with this we're launching the first phase of our new MFA policy today 🎉🥳!
RubyGems Status@rubygems_status13 Jun 2022
To better secure RubyGems, today we're introducing a new policy. - Popular gem maintainers will see prompts to enable multi-factor auth. - Starting Aug 15, MFA will be enforced. This move will help us build a safer community inline with other ecosystems. blog.rubygems.org/2022/06/13…
